Hello guys! Does anyone know if there is a compatibility problem between the Destinator 3 and the Toshiba E800 PPC when using a Bluetooth GPS ? The program works well as standalone but it can not find the GPS ! My BT GPS connects normally with my Toshiba E800 (the GPS driver works just fine and connects) but the Destinator 3 can not find the GPS in any port ! I have seen the Destinator 3 with some iPAQS models with the same GPS and it worked fine ! The problem has something to do with the Destinator 3 and the Toshiba E800. For your information I'm using Windows 2003 SE in the E800.I must also tell you that the other GPS driving programs (such as Route66) can find my GPS and work just fine !
Is there something I must do ? Please help me with my problem because I want so badly to use the Destinator 3 with my E800 and BT GPS...

Had similar problem (Toshiba e830+Rikaline BT X7).

After several days of playing with different variants - got the sequence which works fine (at least in my case):

1) Switch off BT;
2) Install and run GPSGate (http://franson.biz/gpsgate/)
Choose as source COM6 (i.e. port with BT serial) with NMEA 4800
As output - virtual port (I use COM8)
3) Start BT; click on GPSgate icon in toolbar -> settings; then choose "close" and after this - "open" (to start gpsgate to use your com6 and share it on com8). Important - if You made it in correct way - Your gps now starts and GPSgate icon in tray change color from red to green (or yellow - if no fix obtained)
4) Open Destinator and choose for GPS your virtual port - now it finds :-))

I hope, it helps. If any question - contact by e-mail alts76@yandex.ru (bcs I check this forum not very often :-))
